Pennsylvania American Water has completed acquisitions of water systems in Middle Smithfield and Delaware Townships for a combined $1.2 million.

In Monroe County, the company acquired the water system assets serving the Fernwood Resort, which consists of approximately 570 timeshare units and six commercial customers, including a hotel complex, convenience store and restaurants built around Fernwood's golf course. The Middle Smithfield Township resort is close to Pennsylvania American Water's Saw Creek water and wastewater operations.

The company also purchased the All Seasons Water Co. in Delaware Township, Pike County, which provides water service to about 100 residents.

New treatment systems will be installed at Fernwood to address existing water quality issues and nearly 1,000 feet of water main will be replaced. Pennsylvania American Water will also install new water meters using radio frequency technology for customers of both systems.
